Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to the classic Dolly Parton film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and ZZ Top's ode "La Grange," many people think they know the story of the infamous Chicken Ranch. The reality is more complex, lying somewhere between heartbreaking and absurd. For more than a century, dirt farmers and big-cigar politicians alike rubbed shoulders at the Chicken Ranch, operated openly under the sheriff's watchful eye. Madam Edna Milton and her girls ran a tight, discreet ship that the God-fearing people of La Grange tolerated if not outright embraced. That is, until a secret conspiracy enlisted an opportunistic reporter to bring it all crashing down on primetime television. Drawn from exclusive interviews and expanded with newly uncovered information, Jayme Lynn Blaschke's revelatory exposition of the Ranch illuminates the truth and lies surrounding this iconic brothel.

Download or read book The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West written by Patricia Nelson Limerick and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Limerick is one of the most engaging historians writing today." --Richard White The "settling" of the American West has been perceived throughout the world as a series of quaint, violent, and romantic adventures. But in fact, Patricia Nelson Limerick argues, the West has a history grounded primarily in economic reality; in hardheaded questions of profit, loss, competition, and consolidation. Here she interprets the stories and the characters in a new way: the trappers, traders, Indians, farmers, oilmen, cowboys, and sheriffs of the Old West "meant business" in more ways than one, and their descendents mean business today.

Book excerpt: Amidst the neon and the big special ugly of Las Vegas, mild-mannered Frank Fontaine is beating the brains out of the Acropolis Casino. The house cops think the dealer, a blonde named Nola, is part of the con, but no one can prove a thing. For Tony Valentine, it’s the first new scam he’s seen in decades—and maybe the best. Three things Tony knows: The blonde is guilty, the grifter has lived a former life, and the biggest scam is the one that hasn’t happened yet. In a dream world of fake Greek statues, statuesque hostesses, and a casino owner whose sex life might just burn down his own house, Tony Valentine is plying his special trade. While some people have a sixth sense, Tony has a grift sense—and he needs it now to separate a grifter from a scam that’s worse than anyone’s wildest dreams. . . . From the Paperback edition.

Book excerpt: Las Vegas—the name evokes images of divorce and dice, gangsters and glitz. But beneath it all is a sordid history that is much more insidious and far-reaching than ever imagined. The Money and the Power is the most comprehensive look yet at Las Vegas and its breadth of influence. Based on five years of intensive research and interviewing, Sally Denton and Roger Morris reveal the city’s historic network of links to Wall Street, international drug traffickers, and the CIA. In doing so, they expose the disturbing connections amongst politicians, businessmen, and the criminals that harness these illegal activities. Through this lucid and gripping indictment of Las Vegas, Morris and Denton uncover a national ethic of exploitation, violence, and greed, and provide a provocative reinterpretation of twentieth-century American history. Now this neon maelstrom of ruthlessness and greed stands to not as an aberrant “sin city,” but as a natural outgrowth of the corruption and worship of money that have come to permeate American life.

Download or read book Love Letters to Missouri--a Kept Promise written by Samuel Matthias Ayres and published by Virtualbookworm Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Love Letters from Missouri" is a human interest story of a young Missouri doctor, Dr. Samuel Ayres, who joined the general exodus of 1850 to the gold fields of California in the pursuit of riches. As promised to his wife, Samuel faithfully writes letters describing his day-to-day adventures of the trail, including brief encounters with Indians, successful treatment of numerous chases of cholera along the Platte river between Fort Kearney and Fort Laramie, and celebrating the third anniversary of the establishment of the Great City of Salt Lake. Frequently he mentions his loneliness and heartbreak being away from his wife Priscilla and their two small boys, of concern for his own personal safety and of his extreme disappointment in the deteriorated conditions and lack of opportunities found in California on his arrival. Following only one actual day of labor in the gold fields, Dr. Ayres succumbed to illness and tragically dies November 19, 1850, six months and one week after his departure from his Missouri wife and family.
